BE STILL AND WAIT Lyrics

BE STILL AND WAIT

Walking out along the flint path

As the birds greet the sky

I’m looking for a way out of the confusion

And uncertainty surrounding my life

Following the rocky mountain road

Nearing the summit gaining height

When a low-lying cloud slowly drifting down

Obscures the pathway from my sight

My compass spinning, my vision veiled

But through swathes of cloud I see

A figure with misty beard, and clothed in smoke

Is sitting quietly observing me

Then a sound in the wind like a whisper in the leaves

I hear a voice taking shape

He says, “When in doubt and the mist surrounds you

Just be still and wait

And then when the sun filters down through the mist

And dispels it as it surely will

Then you can venture forth and you can go with courage

You see? Life’s reborn when you are still. Haha!”

And then he’s gone, dissolved, in fog so dense

I can hardly see my hand in front of my face

I’ll take the advice from that vaporous dude

Cos I’m lost in this no-nowhere place

So I sit, I take it easy, I wait

A few hours and the clouds disperse

And the sun shines golden on the mountain slopes

And illuminates the earth

And the sun shines golden on the mountain slopes

And the sun shines golden on the mountain slopes

And illuminates the earth
